Compassion is the source of our happiness in life. Without loving kindness and compassion, there is no peace or happiness in the family, the society, the country or the world. Compassion is also the source of a healthy mind and a healthy body.PractiCing compassion means Not harming others but only helping them, and helping others is the cause of our own success. If we are loving and compassionate, we make our life worthwhile by bringing happiness to others. Seeing others happy, should make us happy...Compassion makes everyone our friend. If we lack compassion, we have difficulty finding friends, and when we do manage to find some, sooner or later they will become our enemies. Even the members of our family can become our enemies.Without compassion, life is really miserable. People who are only concern about themselves and whose heart are empty of affection and compassion for others have no real peace or happiness. It brings loneliness, depression and many other problems.If we don't have compassion, no matter how many friends or how much wealth we have, we have no real peace or satisfaction in our life. we won't be able to enjoy life as our heart will be like a hot, barren desert. If we lack these precious qualities and our attitude to life is selfish, our wealth actually brings a lot of worry and fear and unfulfilled expactations. We will also be afraid that one of our competitors will become richer, more powerful, better, stronger....etc etc thus our wealth actually create problems in our life bringing us enemies and even endangering our life.Self-cherishing and lack of loving kindness and compassion makes lives of wealthy people unhappy and unsatisfying. No matter how much education and intellectual knowledge we have, we will have no peace in our heart if we lack loving kindness and compassion.
